Show your lymph some love with the Body Ballancer
As the winter season and dark cold days confine many of us to more sedentary lifestyles, it’s important to consider simple ways to take better care of your health. If you’re struggling this year with lethargy, tiredness and bloating there’s a potentially good reason why, and your lymphatic system – responsible for the elimination of excess fluid and toxins – may hold the key as when it gets blocked or overrun through lack of activity, stress, illness, or toxic overload, it can lead to a host of problems.
The Body Ballancer® is a versatile, relaxing compression therapy system that can help. Using the principles of manual lymphatic drainage, the system provides a fully automatic, high-quality massage, that can accelerate the removal of toxins that impact our immune system, helping fight off infections and speeding up healing and recovery from illness. It can also improve the appearance of cellulite and poor skin tone, reduce water retention, aid faster muscle recovery post-workout, and support the elimination of free radicals – a by-product of the body’s stress-fighting hormones.
Pampering at home with Neal’s Yard Remedies
As the winter evenings draw in, it’s the perfect time to indulge your senses with a night of pampering courtesy of Neal’s Yard Remedies. They have everything you need to unwind and take care of your wellbeing. For the ultimate bathing experience, pour the Soothing Bath Oil into warm running water before sinking into the bath. The aromatherapy blend of organic lavender, geranium, bergamot, and cypress essential oils works to enhance your wellbeing. Don’t forget, 15% discount applies to Kensington Mums Members Club.
Pjs with Purpose
Pjoys is a young independent brand and a social enterprise with a difference. It makes luxury affordable pyjamas in collaboration with contemporary artists from around the world, to raise awareness about mental health and wellbeing, and promote the idea of self-care in the everyday. The collection consists of limited edition and luxury pyjamas, face masks, eye masks, t-shirts (Tjoys) and journals. All the items have been carefully chosen and designed to encourage relaxation and inspiration. Founded by Michelle Morgan, it combines her two great loves – art and design with a passion for supporting those affected by mental health. Each item is lovingly made ethically and sustainably, whilst a donation from each purchase supports mental health charities such as the Samaritans. Pjoys are proud to launch their latest collection – REVIVE – limited edition luxury made pjs made from surplus fabric that might otherwise be burned, landfilled or remain in a warehouse for years. Designed with beautiful luxury detail – a perfect fit for the new working at home culture whilst remaining true to their ethos of support, kindness and sustainability.

Slide back to a good night’s sleep with the Snoozle!
Snoozle slide sheets are thoughtful presents for your favorite people struggling with mobility, joint aches, or back pain. The smooth, satin material of the Snoozle slide sheet helps with sliding and turning in bed, allowing cosier movement and a comfortable, restful night. There’s no need to fully get up from bed to turn over. Instead of lifting your body from the bed to turn or roll over, you use
your bum to slide from side to side with the slide sheet. As a 4-way tubular sheet, the Snoozle slide sheet goes up and down and sideways, making moving in bed way smoother than just having a regular bed sheet. Unlike other slide sheets, the Snoozle sheet makes no crinkly noises when used. Loved ones recovering from surgery will also appreciate this wonderful sheet. Pregnant mums will love it too. Without a doubt, the Snoozle sheet is an excellent addition to your holiday gift basket!
